The strongest Marquis in history

The soldiers looked panic-stricken. As soon as they entered the hall, they knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists and said, "Master Taishou, something is wrong. A group of soldiers who claimed to be from the army of Chen Guo and said they were soldiers under General Han Song's command were attacked by surprise. They He escaped from the mountain. Right now, he is waiting outside the tower."

brush!

Shi Chong's complexion changed drastically.

He looked at Han Song immediately, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

The soldiers in the mountains were attacked?

You must know that only Shi Chong and Han Song knew about this news from beginning to end, and no third person knew about it.

Han Song also stood up abruptly. He didn't ask for news at all, and said directly: "Prefect Shi, the situation is not good, let's go, let's go directly to the tower to see what's going on."

Shi Chong hurriedly stood up.

The two hurried out of the prefect's mansion, and rode straight to Beicheng in Guangling County.It is not far from the prefect's mansion to the tower of Beicheng, and it takes less than half a quarter of an hour to arrive.

Han Song came to the tower, looked outside the city, and immediately saw more than [-] soldiers gathered.

One by one, the soldiers were in a panic.

In particular, there are generals under Han Song's command outside the tower, these are the soldiers under Han Song's command.

Han Song's heart sank.

what happened?

His army had been hiding in the mountains for such a long time without being discovered. Suddenly, it was attacked and suffered such huge losses.Han Song took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and ordered: "Put the person in."

Shi Chong ordered: "Open the city gate!"

The order was issued, the drawbridge was lowered, and the city gate opened with a creak, allowing the soldiers outside the city to enter.After all the soldiers entered the city, the suspension bridge was pulled up and the city gate was closed again.

Han Song immediately called the generals in the army.

The general's name is Huangfu Jia.

Huangfu Jia stood in front of Shi Chong, knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head, and said solemnly: "General, the last general is guilty, causing the army to be attacked, and the army was completely lost. The last general is willing to apologize with death."

Han Song looked gloomy, and said: "Killing you will be useful, you are already dead. Tell me, what is going on. There are [-] elite soldiers stationed in the mountains, why are only these people back?"

Shi Chong was also very curious.

Why did the [-] army lose directly.

Han Song's army was defeated, and Guangling County, where he was located, would also be in trouble.Under such circumstances, Shi Chong was extremely worried and concerned.

Huangfujia replied: "General, we have never gone out in the mountains. We only ate dry food. Last night, the soldiers in the army had already rested. Suddenly, the army of Qi State attacked and directly entered the camp. Our army , It collapsed immediately, countless people were killed, and countless people surrendered. After this battle, only more than [-] people escaped."

Han Song frowned suddenly.

Raid?

How did Xiao Qingzhi discover their whereabouts?

Very doubtful.

Han Song said again: "Are you sure that the soldiers under your command have never left the forest?"

Huangfu Jia raised his hand and swore to the sky: "The general is very sure that our soldiers have never left the mountains, they are all in the mountains. General, the general does not know why he leaked the news."

Han Song waved his hand and said, "Get up."

"Yes!"

Huangfujia heaved a sigh of relief.

At any rate, he was never dealt with. You must know that he was stationed in the mountains with his troops, but the army was massacred and pale.Under such circumstances, he had committed a serious crime, and it was his luck that Han Song never dealt with it.

Han Song looked at Shi Chong and said in a deep voice, "Prefect Shi, my army has been attacked by surprise. The defeat in this battle will have a great impact on the defense of Guangling City. What do you think?"

Shi Chong was also extremely anxious, after all, his confidence was Han Song's [-] elite.

What can he do?

Shi Chong immediately looked at the middle-aged scribe beside him, and said, "Pang Qian, what do you think should be done?"

Pang Qian, in his early thirties.

Its appearance is elegant, standing in front of Shi Chong, it immediately forms a sharp contrast with Shi Chong's sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks.In the early morning, he was the magistrate of Guangling County and Shi Chong's counselor.

It's just that most of the time, Shi Chong is not willing to discuss things with Pang Qian, he always discusses with Liu Xi, and finally let Liu Xi and Pang Qian discuss matters, and then arrange it.

Liu Xi died, and Shi Chong had no one around to plan, so he had to transfer Pang Qian over.

Pang Qian said in a deep voice: "My lord, in the current situation, there are three strategies for humble positions, the upper, middle and lower, for the lord to choose."

Shi Chong frowned slightly.

He didn't like Pang Qian's style, which was a bit pretentious.However, this is Pang Qian's style of doing things again.Moreover, Pang Qian followed Shi Chong in the early years, and after so many years, he was loyal.

Shi Chong waved his hands impatiently, and said, "Let's hear it!"

Pang Qian said: "The best strategy for a humble position is that the Lord and General Han Song will immediately submit a letter to Wu County, Yangzhou, asking His Majesty Chen Guo to send another [-] troops to Guangling County to help."

"As for the reason for General Han Song's defeat, I don't need to say much. I only need to say that when we started the war with Qi, we were attacked by the opponent, and Qi's army was strong in combat and had a large number of people. In the end, we were ambushed and defeated. It's a big loss."

"Under General Han's command, there are only five or six thousand people left. My lord's troops have also lost a lot, and it is difficult to resist. I implore His Majesty Chen to send troops to help."

Pang Qian said: "This is the best policy for a humble job."

After Shi Chong heard it, his face became more relaxed, and he said: "This suggestion is good, General Han, what do you think?"

Han Song echoed, "I agree."

Pang Qian's suggestion took Han Song's face into consideration, and it would not be said that he would directly bury [-] troops before a battle.So after the news came out, Yuan Wei would still send troops in order to control Guangling County.

Seeing that Han Song agreed, Shi Chong flicked his sleeves and said, "Han Song, you don't need to talk about other strategies. This time, we will follow this strategy."

"Yes!"

Upon seeing this, Pang Qian replied.

His temperament is already indifferent, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Shi Chong's direct rejection of the latter suggestion, just implement it.

"Boom! Boom!!!"

Suddenly, the sound of war drums came from far and near.

As soon as Shi Chong and Han Song heard the sound of war drums, they hurriedly looked outside the city.In the distance outside the city, on the wide official road, there was a mighty army rushing towards him.

After Xiao Qingzhi and Zhou Zishan led the army to arrive, the army lined up neatly.

Chapter 494

The drums stopped and everything was silent.

Zhou Zishan nodded to Xiao Qingzhi, and he rode forward with his guards to a distance of about fifty steps outside the city.Zhou Zishan looked up at the tower and shouted: "Shi Chong, I, Zhou Zishan, are here again."

Shi Chong said coldly: "Zhou Zishan, do you want to attack the city?"

Zhou Zishan said: "No siege."

After a pause, Zhou Zishan said: "Shi Chong, you are relying on the [-] army led by Han Song. The [-] soldiers of Chen State were wiped out last night. Presumably, you should have received the news."

"Shi Chong, Han Song's army is destroyed. Although Han Song is still in the city, he is useless. As long as you kill Han Song and hand him over, I guarantee that you will still be the prefect of Guangling County. Stay and serve in Guangling County."

Zhou Zishan said: "You submit to the king and act in accordance with the rules and laws of my country of Qi. Are you willing?"

The soldiers on the tower heard it, and it was only at this time that many people fully understood what was going on.The soldiers guarding the tower before saw Han Song's soldiers who fled back, and they were a little confused.

Don't know what's going on.

Now, fully understand.

It turned out that Han Song's army was completely defeated. Only 3 soldiers returned from [-] people, which can be described as a crushing defeat.

Shi Chong glanced around, and he snorted and said, "Zhou Zishan, don't try to sow discord. I, Shi Chong, will never submit to Wang Qi even if I die. He is a young boy, how can He De let me submit to Shi Chong?" What's more, General Han came to help me, he is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, how can I hand over General Han, just dream."

Zhou Zishan shook his head and said, "If you do this, you will end up suffering for yourself. Think about it, if the people in the city don't support you, you will lose your foundation."

"Now that Han Song's army is also defeated, you still want to resist our Qi army, can you stop it?"

"impossible."

"Right now, you are sitting in a lonely city. Don't worry, my army will not attack the city for the time being. Why, because the people who are fighting are all the people of Qi State, and they are all the sons of my Qi State, how can they kill each other? "

Zhou Zishan continued to bewitch, and said: "The Guangling County you guard is now an isolated city. No matter how stubborn you are, no matter how hard you try to resist, you will definitely not be able to defend it."

Shi Chongdao: "No matter what the result is, I will keep guarding. Zhou Zishan, stop talking nonsense. If you want to attack the city, just attack it, don't need to say more."

Zhou Zishan changed the subject and continued: "Shi Chong, Han Song, you don't doubt why my army can directly enter the mountain and take down Chen Guo's army?"

Shi Chong and Han Song looked at each other.

Both of them were actually very curious, why were they discovered?To know the location where their army is hiding, it is extremely hidden, and it is extremely difficult to be discovered.

It was discovered.

It's weird.

Zhou Zishan said in a deep voice: "The reason why I was able to find out is because my people sneaked into the city, wooed people, and found people who were willing to submit to Qi. Because of the news from the inside, I was able to directly annihilate the army outside the city. Now There are more and more people in the city who are willing to submit to Qi, and you can't keep it. Next, my people will organize the forces in the city and wait for the opportunity to act."

Shi Chong and Han Song's hearts sank.

Is anyone going to betray?

Both of them were very nervous.

Han Song said in a low voice: "Prefect Shi, it seems that the officials under your command must be rectified. Or the big clans in the city must also be beaten, and they cannot be left alone. Right now, we have to delay the time. Zhou Zishan will not attack , It is beneficial to us. Now delay the time, on the one hand to rectify the internal affairs, on the other hand ask His Majesty for help."

Shi Chong nodded and said, "What General Han said is true."

He looked at Zhou Zishan outside the city, and said, "Zhou Zishan, don't continue to sow discord. You just accidentally sent someone to find out the news. It's your luck. But you took this opportunity to plot against us. It is absolutely impossible to cause people under my command to fight among themselves. Zhou Zishan, attack if you want to, and I will accompany you at any time."

Zhou Zishan continued: "Listen, all soldiers of Guangling County. Next, you will have enough time to make arrangements for yourselves. You can escape at any time, and then come to our country of Qi."

"All of you are welcome to join us. If you follow Shi Chong, you will definitely die. I don't want you to die. Of course, you can also send a letter to the people in the city. Anyone who is willing to submit to our country is welcome. to."

Zhou Zishan said: "They are also welcome to help us deal with Shi Chong."

This is Zhou Zishan's purpose.

Further disturb the morale of the army.

Even by shouting, let all the soldiers stand by Zhou Zishan's side, and even go out of the city to join him.As a result, the big clans in Guangling County were mobilized to organize forces in the city.

After all, there are also big families in the county.

These aristocratic families have a certain amount of power. Once united, their power cannot be underestimated.

If Shi Chong had the upper hand, people from these aristocratic families might not take action.Now that Han Song's army has been defeated, Shi Chong is already guarding Guangling County alone. Anyone with a little insight will know what to do.

This is driven by profit.

After Zhou Zishan's words, Shi Chong's face turned ashen.

hateful!

Damn Zhou Zishan.

To deceive people again.

Zhou Zishan shouted: "Soldiers of Guangling County, I, Zhou Zishan, represent Qi State, waiting for you. You are welcome to send someone to contact you at any time. Farewell!"

After speaking, he rode his horse and walked back.

Zhou Zishan returned to the front of the army formation and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Xiao, what needs to be said has been said. Right now, let the situation ferment for a while and see if there is any movement in the city. After a while, we will attack again."

Xiao Qingzhi said: "Military Master, it is possible to trap Shi Chong, but I have a consideration."

Zhou Zishan said: "What consideration?"

Xiao Qingzhi said: "What if Han Song wrote to Yuan Wei and asked Yuan Wei for help again?"

There was a smile in Zhou Zishan's eyes, and he said with confidence: "If this is really the case, it would be best. First, we can surround the points and ambush the Yangzhou army that will continue to come to rescue Shi Chong."

"Secondly, it can reduce the pressure on His Highness. Because the more Chen Guo troops we mobilize, the less pressure His Highness will face. In fact, no matter whether it is us or His Highness, no matter which side achieves a breakthrough and success, we can Take the pressure off your opponent."

"They can all help each other."

"Right now, we don't need to rush to break through Guangling County. If it's just Shi Chong, then it's fine, just attack directly. The problem is that if more troops from Yuan Wei intervene, we need to consider further weakening the opponent, or even containing the opponent."

Zhou Zishan said: "This is also a consideration at the moment, and it is a long-term plan."
